Our research efforts focus on the microscope structure and dynamics of condensed matter using x-ray and neutron scattering techniques. Areas of study include the following:

Collective Excitations in Confined Quantum Liquids

Momentum Distribution of Hydrogen on Surfaces

Microscopic Structure of Confined Solids

Wetting on Nonstructural Surfaces

Dynamics of Hydrogen in Reduced Dimensionality

Hydrogen Storage Materials

These studies make extensive use of neutron and x-ray facilities both in the United States and Europe, as well as local facilities at Indiana University . Our research group is also involved in operating and constructing state of the art instrumentation. These efforts include:

Operation of Beamline X-18A at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Lab

Construction of the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source

Formation of the Neutron Education and Training Institution for the development of advanced Instrumentation
